Anger and anger are natural human emotions, but they can easily get out of control and lead to negative and destructive actions. The Bible teaches us how to control these emotions and gives us wisdom on how to deal with them. In Proverbs 15:1-2 we read, “A calm answer turns away anger, but a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise adorns wisdom, but the mouth of fools pours out folly.”
These verses show us that the way we respond to situations can have a big impact on our emotions and the emotions of others. A calm, quiet response can help to defuse anger, while a harsh, aggressive response can fan the flames of anger even further. In addition, the wisdom and discernment that comes from God can help us to speak wisely and upliftingly instead of spewing negative and destructive words.
Another biblical passage that teaches us about how to deal with anger and anger is Ephesians 4:26-27: “When you get angry, do not sin. Appease your anger before the sun goes down, and do not give place to the devil” . This verse instructs us not to sin in our anger, and to find ways to calm anger before it takes over. When we let anger take over, we open the door for the enemy to enter our lives and do even more damage.
Therefore, we should always seek God’s wisdom to deal with our emotions and learn to control our words and actions even when we are angry. By doing so, we can avoid unnecessary conflict and foster healthy, uplifting relationships with those around us.
